If a family member should read this I wish you would contact me. I worked for Barb at the Greek Assumption Church soooo many years ago. Around 40… Today I thought about her as I have many time over those years and discovered her obituary and then Stan's. How unbelievable that you should lose two beautiful souls within a few months. That is heart-wrenching. I would love to talk about her to one of her children perhaps. It has been 7 months so I don't know if this will make its way to you or not. I hope time has healed some wounds. You have my deepest sympathies.

I’m so sorry to hear about the passing of Stan & Barb.
Teresa & David, you may remember that our families lived in the Shores,where your Dad was a Police Officer. We had the apt. next to yours,
above the police station.We shared the porch.
Again I’m sorry for your loss.
